Story with the rare feat of having an OBP lower than his BA.

Story doesn't have to hit if he fields like that.

Man I sure hope Story can hit just a little because I do enjoy his defense an awful lot.

Story doesn't have to hit if he fields like that. He has to hit more than this. He’s getting *worse* as he gets more ABs. Otherwise he’s a $20 million Deven Marrero.

I had Houck over 15.5 outs, what a bonafide POS
Incompetent!

A Sox fan in the stands, Friday night: "These Pennant-race protesters," he said, "A spirit of SoxNation masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals. In the Bay State today," he told the crowd in Kansas City, "we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism." He went after "pusillanimous pussy-footers" and "vicars of vacillation" and "the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of Sox history." Good Lawd, that is quite the vocabulary. I don't know your age, but perhaps you aren't aware of Spiro Agnew. He didn't bully by being vicious. He bullied by being pedantic.

I value defense more than a lot of people, I get that. I am glove first for everyone up the middle. I did backflips when they traded Nomar for Cabrera. I never was a fan of X as a shortstop.

Meanwhile... absolutely uncanny how Houck is so great twice through the order and absolutely falls apart after that.

Now Houck's line may get messy because yet again he falls apart after five innings. Team has to figure something out with guys like Crawford and Houck.

Looks like Winckowski did not like the shit Houck left and tried his best to allow all inherited runners score.

That won’t cut it. It is weird that Youk cited stats early in the game that Houck is better third time through than second — I’m guessing that is based on samples?

I seem to remember this is some fluky thing where maybe BA is higher the second time through then the third? But by more holistic offensive measures he just gets progressively worse each time through the order.
